This thread should serve as a project to find people who would be able and willing to help implement a port of Marble Madness or an equivalent game for the Diamond using the G Sensor.
Marble Madness is on the wish list in the G Sensor Apps thread and since I believe it would be a great implementation (& demonstration) of the Diamond's G Sensor, also adding a futuristic touch to this classic arcade game, I thought it would be worth a separate thread.
It is already available as a Java application for Sony Ericsson K850i / W910i e.g. here (using the g sensor) but it does not work on the Diamond. cgeboers already mentioned it may require the sensor SDK on Java.
I found an equivalent implementation called Neverball and the good news is - it is open source. There is already a port available for the iPhone.
While you want to look into these two implementations already and see if it can be ported, we should be also looking for more alternatives/equivalent games, preferrably with the source code available.
I am not an active developer myself anymore but I'd be happy to help facilitate and support this project. As a side effect, a successful implementation could possibly reuse the code to publish a generic game controller (or Wiimote), also on the G Sensor Apps wish list.
Playing Marbel Madness with the G-Sen... what a freakin' awesome idea
I am very much in favour for that... PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAS anyone out there how can do it
Or PAC-MAN ?
Can't be very hard to do.

Is there anyone programming a Dyno/Quartermile -Measuring Application?
I've found one for the *uaaah* Iphone/Ipod Touch *uaaaaah* called "Dynolicious"
http://www.dynolicious.com/
Looks great!!
Time to get a competitor on Diamond *g*

yeah i agree with that its looks very nice.
nice idea for the diamond. i'm looking forward to how this program works

Wow this is just what I need. Would definately pay actual money for that app on the diamond
I like this idea also. GPSskinner only use the GPS, it would be nice if this can be done with the G-Sensor we have in our diamonds....
gps thingy only measur speed that can my tomtom also ^^ the dyno program from dynolisious has much more options then only speed
I would definately buy an application like this for the diamond.
My car is going to be tortured so much, as soon as this app is available.
Looking forward to it ;-)
yeah now we need someone that can make this
hehe i can't still learning c and java :O
This certainly looks awesome.Anybody looking into making this for the diamond?
that's great
i have used up to now the gti.sis from www.tempes.com with an symbian phone and it works not bad
but measurements with the g sensor you get better values for a reproducible
acceleratin.
i hope someone can do the hard work
I would like something like that http://www.veypor.com/veypor.html
It is accelerometer - based!!
If it can be developed on the iPhone, and HTC is "The phone with all the things iPhone STILL misses" then it should be possible to program it for the HTC aswell ! Just requires a programming nerdy with fuel in the blood
Yes, please someone make this program. im happy to donate for this

I by no means know enough about the hardware required, but there is a fast sampling time required for gps data logging. Googling the topic brings up plenty of discussion from SCCA forums.
i'd donate $20 for a comparable program like the iphone version
I got a reply from Traqmate:
We have jokingly spoken about doing an iPhone implementation. The
problem is that Traqmate uses a high-speed GPS chip chosen for speed and
the phones use a 1Hz chip that is chosen for sensitivity. Good idea but
I am afraid a phone would not make a very good Traqmate.

Hello,
I'm currently a college student and was looking around for some heavy-duty calculator applications for the G1 and stumbled on this. It seems not to have been updated in about 9 months, but the application itself seems very interesting and exceptionally useful. I was wondering if someone would be interested in picking up where they left off? Or atleast compiling an .apk for it?
Same here, maybe something similar to a TI 83 and up?
I would be very interested to see this developed more.

Yeah, THIS is the most powerfull software calculator i've ever seen.
And it's free. A little bit unusual to learn, but you have graphical output on screen
and everything you can think about.
Just type what you want and he does it for you.
It's very fast.

Please note that I just compiled it... I don't even know how it works.

PG Calculator
I would like to recommend PG Calculator. It comes in free different versions: Free, Standard and Pro. Pro version can work with complex numbers.
The app has nice interface which can be changed using different skins. It can work in both Algebraic and RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) modes. Algebraic mode allows to process the mathematical expressions. Calculator has a library of common mathematical and physical constants and allows for user-defined variables.
Pro version has the Time Value of Money solver and also the IP Subnet calculator.
Surprisingly we dont yet have monitor mode, airsniffing, or aircracking capabilities within android. The drivers are open source and require some modifications for these features to be taken advantage of. How hard would it be for the dev's here to rewrite the wireless drivers to enable monitor mode? Also wouldnt it be neat to have a android/debian mix'ed rom where we can apt-get things right to the phone instead of a chrooted environment? It would be cool to see some more hacking at this and other things. Let's unleash the wireless functionality of these devices.
It would be cool to get aircrack working on our devices, people with iphones got monitor mode working, just not injection. From what I have seen injection is possible for us, so whats keeping us back from unleashing it?
Also Metasploit Mobile would be a killer addition to android if it only requires python
Ok It seems monitor mode is possible on the bcm4329 chipset which is in our devices and needs a rewrite

For once it will allow the phone to act as a packet sniffer. Pretty useful if you are into monitoring network activities
I'd love to see a port for our phones.
Yes, this is exactly why I made a thread asking for help getting Debian running on our phones
BTW which someone already has done and has a how-to guide here http://blog.coralic.nl/2010/08/17/ubuntu-on-samsung-galaxy-s-android/
Don't want to lead anyone off with that link, just wanted to plug that in in case anyone else wanted to try it.
But truly this is where the true FUN is, you know. I would love to use a wireshark like type app or aircrack for that matter. I would die to have apt-get built in to the OS.
I have actually been considering working on a project like this for a few weeks. I'll see what's involved next week when I'm on vacation. Ultimately I was hoping to port something similar to kismet to the Galaxy S phone with nice GUI for wireless network penetration testing.
If anyone else has systems development experience and wants to work with me on this, PM me and we can get in touch.
To be honest with you guys.
It would be best to get in contact with HD MOORE of Metasploit or the authors of this software and request for a port.
The metasploit port woul be easy. as it only requires python.
I am personal friends of his.

Metasploit, if it only requires Python, is probably trivial to port to Android. I'm personally interested in working on Aircrack, Monitor Mode, and Packet Injection. These are very different projects and perhaps should be two separate threads.

HDMoore: @androidunleashd would be slick, we need a solid ruby, persistent daemon, less mem use
Correct. Get those things ported to android. and his frame work will work. Which includes WEP cracking.
I think this is one of my most favorite threads so far. I'm excited to see what comes of all this, I too would love to see metasploit ported to Android, how pwerful would our precious little vibrants be then?
I have been wondering when a project like this would happen. Thinking of all the possibilities makes me giddy.

This is the only MAME emulator I've found that supports the classic games. It emulates a GP2X game console which supports .34/.35b roms only. It doesn't seem to recognize the newer roms.
I can only find it by using the links on this page or scanning the QR Code with my phone.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-jrioni-jarcade-qCqA.aspx
I had to use my phone and scan the QR Code with the Barcode Scanner App to open the page in the MarketPlace. If anyone could provide a link, it would be great as the GTab doesn't have the resolution to scan the QR Code as well as being a PITA with only one camera.
UPDATE: Tried to use my phone to blowup the QR Code to scan it as the link wasn't working for the GTab for some reason. Got it to scan with Barcode Scanner, but it linked to the same page in the Marketplace. It didn't make a difference though. It seems there is still something missing from the Marketplace implementation on the GTab and this is after the last Marketplace hack involving changing the build.prop. Sideloading after downloading from a device that can use this like appears to be the only way to go to load this for now.
TigerMAME, which is found easily on Android Marketplace only supports Neo Geo/CPS1/CPS2 games.
Once purchased and installed, you need to wait for him to send you a code to unlock and activate the emulator. It took more than 24 hours, so be patient.
I was able to convert some roms to work with this using his instructions on his blog:
http://jrioni-arcade.blogspot.com/2009/09/howto-rom.html
Playing with WiiMote Keyboard works. You will need to UNCheck the WM Sideways option in the keyboard settings for the WiiMoteIME Settings. The emulator assumes you're turning it sideways. The Wiimote is difficult to play MAME with, looks like it's time to buy a Classic Controller Pro!
I wish it played the full set supported by GP2X, but it only works with about one third of the roms GP2X supports. I went through them all, since have full set for my Dingoo and PSP and used the app with G1, Droid and Incredible (probably one of the first people that bought his app in 2009).
Jioroni messed up, since this app and the PC Engine would have doen well, were it not for his code validation process. His efforts to prevent piracy actually has hurt him more than selling through the market straight.
Yeah I was a little put off by the piracy precautions as well. It's scary when you have only 24 hours to return it and it takes almost 2 days to get a code. I did reprocess the roms as he had outlined in his blog post and a lot of them were able to play successfully. I have some issues maybe you might know how to solve like the galaga missing ship exploding sound or sounds in donkey Kong. I know in the PC version there was a sample directory to address this is there something like this?

All common issues with MAME .34 & .35. Still young app back then.
This project appears abandoned. No activity on the blog since 2009, and though Jarcade shows up in the market, if I try to buy it, I get a server error.
Are there any emulators that play the early Mame games from the eighties?
I was actually surprised that mame doesn't exist for android. I want to play old-school 80's games and I think most would be perfect for android devices.

Perhaps it's beause while the code is available, it cannot be used commerically, so no monetay gain for the wouldbe developer. I installed the Android sdk + all the other required software, just to get a feel for what would be involved in porting mame. The NDK might provide some help using the existing C code, rather than converting everything to java, but at this point I'm still learning how to import existing java code into my test projects.
The other problem as I see it, is that Mame runs with the command line or a frontend. I may be able to get some code for a java frontend, but adding it to the project and connecting it is beyond my current limited abilities.
There's also the source code MAMEUI, which has a GUI. Written for windows tho
Yes it wouldn't have a monetary gain, but that hasn't stopped people previously from porting mame to everything under the sun. The one device I thought would have it for sure, doesn't.
And yes a front-end would be an issue and add development time, and so would an a control overlay. Someone needs to standardize some game development tools one thing being virtual controls so other game developers who need on screen controls can just place say an 8 way controller and two buttons. But that's another matter.
Well, I hope mame gets ported one day but if it hasn't already I don't think it's just around the corner.

I've been going through the Android SDK tutorials / layouts section and believe that creating a frontend may be the easiest part. Haven't yet learned how to pass values to from the Java frontend to the native C code, but I'm sure it's very possible.
The initial release of this theoretical MAME port could be without a control overlay. The user could use the navigation keys on their Android device if available, or something external like a wiimote.
Another thought is that perhaps MAME could be compiled for Android and launched via the command line in the Terminal emulator.
